ELTIGRE,
I think what YNOT was trying to say is that for the most part all the modern trainers have gentle flight characteristics that will enable a person to learn to fly.

As a case in point I was convinced via the Internet that the LT40 was far superior to all the other trainers available. So I stopped building the Lanier ST40 and bought a LT40. The LT40 was nice. It is big. However imagine my surprise when one of the guys brought a Superstar Trainer to the field and it flew every bit as nice as the LT40.

I feel differences between trainers are greatly exaggerated --- for all practical purposes any of the name brands will teach someone to fly.
